About this app

• 2024 Pick: Best Meditation App by Healthline, The New York Times Wirecutter, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated

Well-being is a skill that can be learned. We’re here to guide you along the way.

Backed by four decades of research from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and the team at Humin (formerly Healthy Minds Innovations) & the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, the Healthy Minds Program trains your mind through meditation and podcast-style lessons to develop skills for gaining focus, reducing stress, and maintaining positive social connections.

Research with the Healthy Minds App showed that just 5 minutes a day of practice leads to a 28% reduction in stress, an 18% reduction in anxiety, a 24% reduction in depression, and a 13% increase in social connection.

Featuring our scientific Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose, Well-being Framework, the Healthy Minds Program is a holistic, all-encompassing meditation app that offers the best of both guided meditations and opportunities to learn. You’ll learn simple skills to enhance personal well-being, build healthy relationships, and improve communication, performance, and creativity.

What makes us unique?

Developed from Science:
While many meditation apps can claim the scientific benefits of meditation, our practices are developed directly from neuroscientific research. You’ll also hear from the world’s foremost neuroscientists about neuroplasticity and how to train your mind.

Made for Busy Lives:
Our app features active meditation practices that fit into your busy lifestyle. Don’t have time to sit for 20 minutes? Put on an active practice and train your mind while you fold the laundry.

Guided by Measurement:
Thanks to our pioneering scientific research, the Healthy Minds Program offers the first mobile mental and emotional well-being assessments. Learn about your current level of well-being and contribute to cutting-edge research on the science of well-being. Our app also integrates with Apple Health to track your mindful minutes.

Goes Beyond Mindfulness:
Our guided path offers step-by-step instructions for becoming more present in the moment and developing a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection in life.

Driven by Mission and Supported by Donation:
The Healthy Minds Program is made possible by our donors, who support our vision of a kinder, wiser, more compassionate world. Unlike other apps that require a subscription, the Healthy Minds Program is available by donation, driven by a mission to translate science into tools to cultivate and measure well-being.

absolutely free and takes you by the hand to dif meditations, in considers if you are an active person and how long you can stay concentrated to shorten the meditation. also you can save your favourite meditations to go back to them. it helped me through a rough time and con only recommend.

This app is simply amazing. I have spent a long time trying to meditate, taking various lessons and reading books on the subject. I have also tried other apps and guided meditations. This app teaches the user *practical meditation*, i.e. how to take the skills of the pillow and into the real world through a variety of different techniques and methods such as active meditation, sitting meditation, Metta meditation, etc. I could go on for a page or two, but for all interested this is a must try!

I had a 185 day streak going and then it froze. Had to uninstall and reinstall and it lost all my data of a total of over 200 days. Used one meditation, and it froze again. And again. My login still exists, but all my stats are back to 0. I can still access all the meditations, as I had completed them all before the crash, but I miss the cumulative data, especially the dates of when I last did each meditation, for reference, and don't want to keep uninstalling each day.
